We spotted **physical features** like rivers, fields, and woodlands, and compared them to **human features** such as roads, schools, and the Blue Planet Aquarium. The children loved finding their houses seeing places they recognised from a bird’s-eye view! Great work, explorers! ### Google Earth - Human & Physical Features [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/google-earth-human-physical-features/thumbnail_IMG_7212.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/google-earth-human-physical-features/thumbnail_IMG_7212.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/google-earth-human-physical-features/thumbnail_IMG_7213.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/google-earth-human-physical-features/thumbnail_IMG_7213.jpg) [Year 4](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-4) [Geography](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/geography) [Computing](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/computing) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_4542.jpeg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-07-01-11-55-00-year-5-and-the-co-crew) Previous ### [Year 5 and the CO Crew](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-07-01-11-55-00-year-5-and-the-co-crew) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_3487.JPG)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-07-02-07-27-00-y2-science-pshe-workshop) Next ### [Y2 - Science/PSHE workshop](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-07-02-07-27-00-y2-science-pshe-workshop) ### School Life - [Brookside Blog ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog) - [News](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news) - [Events](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/events) - [Photograph Galleries ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/photo-galleries) - [School Council](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/school-council) - [After-School Clubs ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/after-school-clubs) - [KIDZ Club](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/kidz-club) - [Calendar](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/calendar) - [Newsletters](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/information-for-parents/newsletters-2026-2027) - [Mental Health ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/mental-health) ##### Location Rostherne Avenue Great Sutton Cheshire CH66 2EE ##### Contact Us 0151 558 1123 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/brooksideprimary/) © Copyright 2014–2026 Brookside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
